With the announcement of the UTD Mission Team so many Sundays ago, I could not believe I was hand-picked alongside many other faithful disciples to go serve God in the foreign lands of Richardson (Numbers 13: 1-3). It was with great honor that each and every one of us said yes (Isaiah 6:8). And it did not take long for us to hit the ground running; because within like the first week, we were blessed with a baptism when we studied with Chidera Kanu.

Then the following weeks God blessed us with some more fruit at UTD (Matthew 7: 16-20), when we baptized Robel Araya and soon after Kelvin Zhang. Of course, the sisters were hard at work too– God blessed them with some fruit as well. During this time they baptized Kelly Escobar and Claudia Nguyen.

I think things like Family Time and Encouragement Dates have strengthen our bond. The more activities we do together, and the more time we spend with each other– is the more we can grow to understanding each other. Which then helps us to love and forgive each other (John 13: 34-35). Another great benefit that we share is that most of us live in a household.

God is going to keep using us to do great things at UTD (1 Corinthians 1: 27). With the semester being half way through, I can’t wait to see all the future miracles God will continue to bring to our Campus Ministry.
